Hi I am "Mom" trying to help her son solve this problem. We are working on Point-Slope Form and have gone through answering the questions in Point-Slope form, Slope-Intercept form, and now we have to answer in standard form with integer coefficients and I am stumped!
I know we need to use the formula Ax+By=C
Problem: (-5,2); m=2/5
My son's attempted answer:
y-2=2/5(x+5)
y-2=2/5x+2
y=2/5x+4
-2/5x+y=4
Is he close?
